Check Camera Compatibility with Your WiFi Network
Before attempting to connect your Akaso WiFi security camera to your WiFi network, it’s important to ensure that the camera is compatible with your network. Check the specifications of the camera to see if it supports the same WiFi frequency (2.4GHz or 5GHz) as your network.
If your WiFi network uses a different frequency than the camera supports, you may encounter connectivity issues. In this case, you may need to adjust your network settings or consider using a WiFi extender to bridge the connection between the camera and your network.

- Wait for the camera to fully boot up. This may take a few moments.
Once your Akaso WiFi Security Camera is powered on, you can proceed to connect it to your WiFi network following the manufacturer’s instructions.

Make sure to save any changes you make to the settings before exiting the menu. You can always revisit the settings menu later to make further adjustments as needed.

I recently connected my Akaso camera to my WiFi, and I found the setup quite straightforward. Just followed the app instructions step by step. One tip, though: ensure your phone is connected to the same WiFi network while setting it up. It made a big difference for me. The live feed quality is pretty good too, especially in daytime. But the night vision is a bit grainy. Still, for the price, it’s a solid choice!
I just bought an Akaso camera and I'm having trouble connecting it to my WiFi. Can anyone share tips on what to do if the setup mode isn’t working?
I had the same issue! Make sure your camera is powered on and the light is blinking. Sometimes, resetting the camera helps too.
